What a life! It is my understanding that Aunt Mary kept herself very busy making quilts, even into her later years. What an inspiration she is to me! I am so blessed to have been born into this great family. May the Lord bless you in your loss. What a happy reunion she is having!
Love You,
Jolene Jorgensen Rupp

So sorry we cannot be there to share in your sorrow. Mary will be missed by us all. Leone has been ill since her birthday and does not want to travel in this weather. She was saying the other day she was sure glad she came to visit in October. It was a good visit. Mary clearly remembered Mom and remembered the day Mom was born, her being 17 at the time. Thank you Joyce for letting us come to visit and for taking such good care of your Mother. Leone and family.

Hello all,
We sure will miss Grandma. I know she was ready to leave this world, but we will still miss her sweet personality. What a great woman, we are so proud that she lead such a fullfilling life and that we could be a part of it.

We love all of you.

Lavina certainly sends her sympathy at this time. She is not doing so well, and so we will not be bringing her to the funeral or the burial site. May you know that our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of your loss. We certainly did think alot of our Aunt Mary (and our sister). With love, Lavina Jacobs
